Research explores ISM properties in high-redshift galaxies, showcasing implications for understanding galaxy formation.

The central aim is to accurately extract physical properties of the interstellar medium from galaxy spectra.
Conducted numerical simulations using MEGATRON, incorporating radiation hydrodynamics and thermochemistry.
Applied various star formation and feedback models to simulate high-redshift galaxies.
Used observational techniques to analyze the mass-metallicity relation and ionization state of ISM.
Identified high-redshift galaxies as denser and less metal-enriched than their local counterparts.
Found that ISM gas density influences the slope of the mass-metallicity relation.
Determined that O32 can serve as a density tracer in high-density conditions, necessitating alternative line ratios for ionization state.

Choustikov et al. (2026) studied this question.
